People who rub me the wrong way

Salaams again.

Just a thought about the kind of people who make me mad, get me hot under the collar and generally make me feel as though I were a little worm, particularly slimy.

People who think they're IT! (gag!) I mean whats the problem with being down-to-earth and humble? Knowing you are but a beatable, friggin ordinary mortal!!!????

I've known some really awesome editors who have this extremely non-arrogant persona (didn't really make it with them in a big way cause there were no open slots for my kind of work) and some high-n-mighty, make you wanna kick their... ahem... well.. you get the picture. I once met an incharge (apparently thats a kind of editorial coordinator) who felt as though the entire responsibilty of running that magazine rested on her (in)capable shoulders. She treated me disdain (almost) and though she ran some of my work she never paid me! And when I complemented her on her article (why did it have to be genuinely good?) she did not so much as say thanks! talk about arrogant! If i were to give a name, I'm sure many would recognize this well-known staff-writer cum incharge. but I won't. I know I usually lack the kind of tact people expect, but hey, even I know the value of discretion! Suppose she googled her name, my blog came up bitching abt her, she'd know instantly who it was!

a) that would make her feel even more high-and-mighty (if thats possible)
b) Sadly, her opinion is highly respected, and she could bad-mouth me big time.

so with some sense of mystery I leave you with

Allah Ma'ak!
